The story and why my hatred grows

We all know by now the story in the game is a spaghetti noodle at a Mexican restaurant. There is no context for it and your wondering what the hell went wrong in the kitchen. So I turned to the grimore, which is a great way to provide background exposition you can't fit into the main story, if you've actually told a story in first place. This is where I discovered that not only did you fail at the essential RPG element of telling a freaking story, but that you committed the cardinal sin of storytelling. You wasted a potentially great story. Did you, dear guardians, know there was an actual reason to go to the VoG other than an all white shader? That there is an epic story hidden amongst the loot tables? Yet no context is ever given within the game itself. No attempt is made, beyond an off comment by Dinklespark, to explain it's existence let alone it's purpose. It's this expertly wasted potential for something more than a hamster wheel simulator with guns, that makes me angry at being lied to prerelease. We are angry because you wasted our time, got our hopes up that this epic adventure lays before us and then dashed it all on the rocks of stupidity and bad design. And before anyone tries to defend this as the opening gambit of a 10 year plan let me ask you a question. Do you remember the time you went to see the Lord of the Rings and you sat down in the theater? Do you remember as the lovely shots of the shire opened before you and Gandalf arrived? Do you remember right after Frodo got the ring the credits rolled and they told you don't worry you can read the rest of the story at thier website and in 3 months you can pay more to watch Frodo meet Aragorn at the pub? You don't remember that last part? That's because it's a BS way to tell a freaking story but a great way to gouge money out of people.

  • Uh buddy? U make no sense, he got the ring not even a quarter through the movie. You should read and think before you say something and btw, the whole 'story' does have gaps because nobody knows exactly what happened, think before you rant
